I know your car has got a lot more in it mate and loved seeing it perform as it sounds so different to the other MINI's, plus love it when it backfires off the limiter, sounds mint!

Yeah we just need to get Lee to do some long smokey burnouts, and then hang on

Its got a 12 in it we just need to figure out how to hook the sucker up.

As i see it there are 4 choices;

1, long smokey burnouts with the 888 (coat tyres with grip the week before)

2, put original disc and calipers on and 15 inch slicks (ultimate grip)

3, Buy drag radials

4, Look the other way and let me drive

No probs, but it will mean that you spend more money as your car will feel slow when you get back in it
